Two way Fsi Problem- Non linear problem

kmgraju · February 22, 2013, 02:29

Dear friends

I am doing two way fsi.
Non linear analysis has been performed in ANSYS. ( I am using work bench)
I have an error in ANSYS as shown below. Please help me to figure out the problem.

Thank you

Regards
Govind

This error likely has nothing to do with FSI. Run it as a structural only case, you should get the same error, but it will be easier for structural experts to debug.

Thank you

Did you solve your problem? I am having the same issue in structural and don't know how to implement the ENORM command....

Thanks

It's more safe to let ansys create connections automatically: Create a "Connection Group" in ansys mechanical under the "Connections" part, choose the bodies you'd like to connect and also a fitting tolerance value. Also choose the connections to behave asymmetric. After that it should work (at least it did for me).

abcdef New Member Join Date: Apr 2015 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	It's more safe to let ansys create connections automatically: Create a "Connection Group" in ansys mechanical under the "Connections" part, choose the bodies you'd like to connect and also a fitting tolerance value. Also choose the connections to behave asymmetric. After that it should work (at least it did for me).
